Technical specifications, features and the use thereof are subject to change without notice. 

Cautions –  Ensure that the television is positioned, set up and connected in accordance with the instructions in this Getting Started. To prevent injury, use Bang & Olufsen approved stands and wall brackets only! 

–  Place your television on a firm, stable surface. –  Do not place any items on top of your television. –  Do not subject the television to rain, high humidity or sources of heat. 

–  The television is developed for indoor use in dry, domestic environments only. Use within a temperature range of 10–40°C (50–105°F), and at an altitude of no more than 1,500 m (5,000 ft). 

–  Do not place the television in direct sunlight or direct artificial light, such as a spotlight, as this may reduce the sensitivity of the remote control receiver. Also if the screen is overheated, black spots may appear in the picture. These spots disappear again, once the television cools down to normal temperature. 

–  Leave enough space around the television for adequate ventilation. 

–  Connect all cables before connecting or reconnecting any of the products in your system to the mains. 

–  No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles should be placed on the apparatus. 

–  Do not attempt to open the television. Leave such operations to qualified service personnel. 

–  Do not strike the glass with hard or pointed items. –  The television can only be switched off completely by disconnecting it from the wall socket. 

–  The disconnect device shall remain readily operable. 

–  The supplied mains cord and plug are specially designed for the television. If you change the plug or in any way damage the mains cord, it can affect the TV performance. 

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture. Do not expose this equip ment to dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, are placed on the equipment. 

To completely disconnect this equipment from the AC Mains, disconnect the mains plug from the wall socket. The disconnect device shall remain readily operable. 

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of un insulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s en-closure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. 

The exclamation point within an equi-lateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and main tenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

Set up your television

Follow the guidelines for placement and connection described on this and the 

following pages. Several stands and wall brackets are available from your retailer. 

Important

Place the TV When you place the TV, remember that the built-in motor unit will turn and tilt the TV to a preset position when you switch it on. 

Ventilation To ensure proper ventilation, allow enough space above and below the screen. Do not cover the fans. 

Motorised stand or wall bracket

Due to the heavy weight of the TV, any moving or lifting of the TV should be performed by qualified personnel – using the proper equipment. 

At overheating (flashing standby indicator and an on-screen warning), switch the TV to standby, not off, in order for the TV to cool down. You cannot operate the TV during this time. 

When you mount the TV on a floor stand or wall bracket, you can tilt and turn the TV on some of the stands. Only some stands can be tilted and turned with the remote control, other stands can only be tilted manually. If the front screen glass should crack or chip, or if it should be damaged in any way, it must be replaced immediately, as it could otherwise cause injury. You can order replacement front screen glass from your Bang & Olufsen retailer. 

If you have a motorised stand or a wall bracket, leave enough space around the television to allow it to turn and tilt freely. 

Set the maximum angle the TV will turn. See the Guide for further information.
